It was once common for doctors to tell parents that babies don’t feel pain, in an attempt to make them feel more comfortable about circumcising their baby boys. If any parents still believe this nonsense I ask them to pinch their baby, really hard, and see what happens. Not once has any parent actually tried this. Why? because they know it will hurt him. So why would anyone believe that slicing off one of his most sensitive parts with little or no pain relief be any different?
